This Is Where to Get Your New Year’s Eve Dress

You know how sometimes you want something special to wear for a particular occasion but it doesn't make sense to break the bank just to buy an amazing dress you'll only wear once or twice? And wouldn't it be great to be able to "try before you buy" rather than desperately ordering multiple sizes in the hope that something--anything--fits properly? Enter Finery Dress Boutique, a new-ish dress rental shop in Over-the-Rhine. Owner Tricia Ridgeway carries a

Seasonal Beauty Favorites

Whenever the season changes, I try to update my "beauty regimen", which is really just basic hygiene but it makes me feel fancy to call it a regimen. Here are a few of the things I've added to my high-end arsenal of soap and water: PCA Skin A&C Synergy serum //  If my skin is looking dull, I pat this on after washing for a few nights and immediately notice a difference.

Work // What’s In My Styling Kit

I recently had to re-stock my styling kit for a few photo shoots, so I thought I'd share what I keep in my bag, which is currently a glittery Victoria's Secret free-gift-with-purchase tote that coats everything in stripper glitter and sorely needs to be replaced. I'm looking at one of these. Until then, here's what stays in my kit: Flathead pins and safety pins - have several sizes on hand (long, short, thick, thin) so you're

Solving Your Bra-blems with a ThirdLove Discount Code!

As soon as I walk in the door after a long day, I start undressing. Shoes first, of course. Then jewelry. Then comes the blessing of all blessings: I take off my bra. I've mentioned this before, but underwire bras are not my jam. The cups never seem to fit correctly. The straps continuously slide down.

Shopping // Seasonal Wardrobe Wish List

If you've been reading for a while, you've probably noticed that every season I decide on a look. This is both for fun and practical purposes: thinking about fashion is as natural as breathing for me, and making lists of things is 100% my jam. Plus, it's fun to editorialize your own wardrobe every now and then, and having a set aesthetic makes shopping--and NOT shopping for things that don't fit--that much easier. This season, I've

Work // Ball Tracer Dummy Photo Shoot

A few weeks ago, my friend Josh Anderson (you remember him from the podcast, right?) reached out with an interesting concept for a photo shoot: ballistics and martial arts. Josh likes weird stuff, and after years of styling relatively tame editorials for a mainstream audience, it was fun to push the boundaries a bit. The process As soon as I saw the mood board Josh put together, my brain immediately went into Producer mode: We needed people

Giveaway // Win $250 to Shop at Simon Premium Outlets!

One sunny Saturday morning, the Thread Cincinnati babes headed to Premium Outlets for an early shopping spree. The team at Simon (which owns the outlet) had invited us for mimosas and shopping, and we were more than happy to oblige! J. Crew and Nine West were sweet enough to open early for us, and we spent some time browsing for cozy fall sweaters and chicover-the-knee boots before I made a beeline for the BCBG Factory Store
